Join Historian and author Sophie Bacchus-Waterman as she sheds light on Elizabeth Boleyn’s time as a lady-in-waiting to Katherine of Aragon, her pivotal role during the King’s Great Matter, and how she supported Anne Boleyn during her short but dramatic queenship. Who was the mother who raised the most famous queen consort in English history, and why has her story gone untold for so many centuries?
The talk will be followed by refreshments.
